A/N: This is my first fic so if it stinks, oh well. If it's good, I will make more. This story is based on Harvest Moon FoMT: For Girl. I don't know the beginning scenario for that game, so I'm using the one in the regular FoMT game. You know the one where the main character meets a little girl on a vacation with his family and inherits the farm from and old man. I'm just going to put it as the girl goes to the farm and meets an old man who soon dies and gives the farm to her. People always have the name of the main character as Jack or Jill (Yes, I know that they are default names). I'm calling my character Amy. I hope you enjoy! (And possibly review.) Note: I am used to writing my stories in script form, so if there are too many grammatical errors, then sorry. I don't have much experience with using quotes instead of colons.

Chapter 1: Are We There Yet?

Amy's POV

Dear Amy,

I have bad news for you. A friend of yours has passed away. You may not remember him, though. You stayed at his farm for about a week when you were just a child, remember? I found his will while I was cleaning out his house. It says that he is leaving his farm to you. Will you take it? Please think about this before replying. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mayor Thomas

I was rereading the note in the chair I was sitting in. I still can't believe this! He wants me to take over his farm! I know nothing of farming! I got out of school with good grades and people say I'm smart. I can sing, play the piano, and I'm an excellent cook. I was sent a boat ticket in the letter so now I'm sitting on the boat right now waiting to arrive at this place called Mineral Town. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to take up the farm. After all of the things my friend, Grahm, has done for me, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do this one little thing for him. But, man am I bored. I get bored way too easily. I looked down at what I was currently wearing. I had on a blue tank top, a pair of denim Capri's, and a pair of comfortable sandals. I looked out the window. I squinted my eyes and could see the island in the distance. Well, I hope it was the right one. When the boat began to head towards it, I knew it was my destination. Thoughts began to whiz through my head as I pondered what would happen when I got there. I guess I would just get off and be introduced to everyone in the town and---the loud blaring of the foghorn distracted me from my thoughts and I looked out the window to see that I had arrived. I quickly got up from my seat and picked up my bags. I got to the dock and was greeted by a short man with red clothes and an even redder nose. He picked up one of my bags and I got off the boat and picked up the other. He finally greeted me with,

"Hello, my name is Mayor Thomas. I sent you that letter. I'm so glad you decided to take up the farm!"

He continued to babble about random things that I didn't care about as we walked down the street towards the farm. When we finally got there he told me,

"Put your bags inside and I'll give you a tour of the town if you want me to."

"That's all right, Thomas. I'll figure it out some way or another."

"All right, do as you want. If you get lost, don't be afraid to call me! I'll see you around! Bye!"

And then he was gone. Thank goodness. I set my bags down inside the house/shack and took a look around. There was a bed, a table, a calendar, a bookshelf, a toolbox, a small dresser, and a TV. Looks like I'll have to borrow someone else's kitchen if I want to cook. I unpacked my suitcase and decided to start farm work tomorrow. Today, I would introduce myself to the townspeople. I left the house and saw a small puppy sitting at my feet. Aww… I thought. It's SO cute! I think I'll name it…Chip.

"I'm gonna call you Chip, okay?" I told it.

It looked at me then went into an empty doghouse that was beside the stable.I walked out of my property and headed up the street and went right at the second fork. There was a place called, "Aja Winery". What a strange name for a winery. I thought to myself. Wonder what gave them that idea. Since I don't drink much, I passed by it and came across a place called, "Doug's Inn". The name was simple and I could hear sounds of laughter coming from it. I smelled freshly cooked food and thought about all the people that would be there. I could introduce myself to a lot of people at one place. That convinced me to go inside. I slipped inside the door and sat at the bar. A redheaded man came up to me and asked,

"What would you like today, Miss?"

"Oh, I'm not getting anything." I replied.

"Say, aren't you that new girl that everyone's talking about? The one that's taking up old man Grahm's farm?" he asked.

"I am, indeed. I came to the Inn because I knew there would be a lot of people here and I could introduce myself to a lot of people at one time." I said.

"My name's Doug." he said."Let me get you started. Ann!"

He had called over a redheaded girl that wore overalls and a yellow shirt hurriedly ran over. She looked at Doug and asked,

"Hey, Dad. What do you need me to do this time?"

"This is the new girl, y'know the one that's inheriting old man Grahm's farm. Her name is…actually, she never told me her name. What's your name?" he asked me.

"Oh, my name's Amy." I replied."Who's she?"

"This is Ann, my daughter. She works as a waitress and a maid at the Inn. She's very helpful. Maybe she can introduce you to a few people. Can you, Ann?" he asked Ann.

"Oh, sure, Dad." Ann replied."I'll let her meet everyone here."

She took my hand and began to introduce me to the local townsfolk. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to her when she introduced me to a few people. I was to busy thinking on something that I had just now remembered that Mayor Thomas had said.

Quick Flashback

"And you may want to get married and start a family. But you better hurry before all the eligible bachelors are taken."

He chuckled and spat a little.

End Flashback

"Hello? Hello? Amy? Are you off in dream world or something? Hello?"

I shook my head and returned to the real world. Ann was waving her hand in front of my face and trying to bring me back to normal. When she saw that I had finally returned she motioned toward a girl and told me,

"This here is Karen. She comes here a lot."

She was looking at a girl with green eyes and brown hair with yellow highlights. She wore a purple vest, a white shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of brown boots. She put a small smirk on her face and said,

"Hey. Welcome to Mineral Town. I heard that you were taking over old man Grahm's farm. I hope you come by and visit the supermarket where my dad works. You can buy seeds there."

"Okay. Thanks. That will be helpful later on in my new career." I said.

Ann and I walked away and we sat down at an empty table. I began to think about what Mayor Thomas had said and zoned off again. Ann looked at me and said,

"Hey, Amy. What's the matter? You seem to be drifting off a lot lately."

"Oh, it's something that Mayor Thomas said when he was showing the way to my farm." I replied.

"What did he say?" She asked.

"He said (in exact quotes) 'And you may want to get married and start a family. But you better hurry before all the eligible bachelors are taken.'" I replied.

"That's weird." she said."If you ask me, I think that you should get married whenever you want to. But if you want me to, I'll show you the guys out there that you could marry."

"Would you?" I asked."That's fine with me. I need to know who is and who isn't taken."

She pointed at a table that had four guys sitting at it. She first pointed to a guy with a cap that said 'UMA' on it and had blue eyes.

"That's Gray."She said."He works as a blacksmith at his grandfather, Saibara's, place. He doesn't talk much, but once you get to know him I'm sure he can be pretty nice…I think. I don't know him very well, so what can I say?"

She then pointed to a guy with black hair and a white coat.

"That's the Doctor." She continued."I think his name's Tim, but he doesn't let anyone call him anything except for 'Doctor'. He is probably the oldest of the eligible bachelors."

The third guy looked like he wore animal skin and he had blue eyes. He's cute. I thought.

"That's Cliff." She told me. "He lives at the Church and is thinking about leaving because he doesn't have a job. Maybe you can convince him otherwise."

The last guy at the table had glasses and carrot colored hair.

"That over there is Rick. He works at the poultry farm with his mom and his sister. He can be a bit over-protective though. The fifth and final bachelor is Kai. He's pretty cute, but he only comes here during the summer. He has a purple bandanna and tanned skin. He runs a snack shack down at the beach." she said."Well, that's everyone."

"Thanks, Ann." I said."You've been a great help. I'll come by and visit you whenever I don't have too much work to do. Who knows? Maybe we can become good friends. Well, I'm ready to finish up the introductions."

She continued to introduce me to people who came by the Inn to get wine or food or something. These included: Popuri, who scared me with the pink hair, red eyes, and overly positive attitude. (A/N: Sorry to all of you Popuri lovers, but Popuri REALLY creeps me out.) Mary, who seemed nice but, was very shy. And Elli, who was just kind and gentle yet a little overweight. There were many other people too. Eventually, we finished up introducing and I went home to my house/shack. Ann and I were becoming good friends. She was a good guide and friend. I went to sleep; tired and hoping farm life isn't too hard.

A/N: So what did you think of my first chapter? Good? Bad? Well, if you want to share your opinions, then please review. I promise it will get more exciting later on. (Especially when Kai comes.) Remember, reviews encourage me to write more. Thank you SO much for reading this and I hope you will continue to read it. Enjoy!
